Kyocera Introduces Compact Automotive Multilayer Varistor Designed for Tight Spaces
Kyocera AVX Corporation has rolled out its cutting-edge Miniature 0201 Automotive Multilayer Varistor, addressing the industry's need for space-efficient yet high-performance electronic elements specifically tailored for automotive use.
Designed to fulfill the stringent AEC-Q200 qualification standards, these tiny powerhouses offer exceptional functionality without sacrificing valuable circuit board area. With their 0201 form factor and ultra-thin profile, they are perfectly suited for space-critical applications, including manifold absolute pressure sensors, camera modules, compact embedded components, and densely packed circuits.
The varistors stand out with their capacity to provide robust bi-directional electrostatic discharge (ESD) defense in one of today's tiniest available packages. They also deliver effective off-state electromagnetic interference/radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) mitigation, a key asset in the challenging automotive landscape.
AVX’s 0201 Multilayer Automotive Varistors enable design engineers to consolidate componentry, offering a singular-chip solution that eliminates the need for two diodes and an EMC capacitor, which simplifies the circuit design and cuts down on the number of components. This integration not only conserves space but also optimizes the assembly workflow.
The varistors come with impressive features, such as a working voltage of 9 Vdc, an energy handling rating of 0.02J, a peak current capacity of 5A, and a 30pF capacitance value. They maintain reliable operation across a broad temperature range spanning -55°C to +125°C, aligning with the environmental demands of automotive applications.
Additionally, these varistors feature superior lead-free solderability due to Ni Barrier/100% Sn termination, guaranteeing strong and enduring connections during the manufacturing process.
